My 19 year old daughter is overweight and wears her pants just
below her stomache as she claims otherwise she would have to
buy them too big and baggy.I can not count how many times I
have seen part of her behind as she is getting out of a car
,or raising her arms,as well as other simple movements. She
wears a belt but it does not help the situation.When I mention
it to her she gets furious and says no one sees anything but
me.I know this can not be true.Has any one else dealt with
this?

Your daughter is an adult. If she chooses to dress that way, it
is her own business. You may find it objectionable, but I
suspect you are making too big a deal out of this, and it is
hurting your relationship with her. Save your criticism for big,
important things.

Try taking her to Urban Outfitters. Jeans are expensive, but
there are several higher-wasted styles that are attractive on
curvy girls.

I would just let her wear them and make no more comments. If
others see her tush, let them tell her or not. You did your
parental duty and informed her and she heard you and responded
age appropriately (peeved)

1)Take a few pictures with your cell phone and send/text them to
her phone.

2)Buy her some ''super cute'' long t-shirts or tunics. (Your
definition of cute and hers are different, so take her shopping
with you.)

3)Invite her to go on a long walk with you several nights a
week. (If she agrees to go, she will be listening to her ipod
not you so don't get excited. That's not what the walk is for.)
